Rose tells USA Today “far away” from returning

“I don’t have a set date,” Rose told USA TODAY Sports. “I’m not coming back until I’m 110 percent. Who knows when that can be? It can be within a couple of weeks. It could be next year. It could be any day. It could be any time. It’s just that I’m not coming back until I’m ready.”

Asked how close he is to 110 percent, Rose estimated “in the high 80s.”

@Tinka_Lady: Derricks biggest fan???? I HIGHLY DOUBT THAT. You're obviously have ZERO knowledge about the human body or injuries such as a torn ACL. Surgery and treatment for this type of injury has changed a lot in the last few months and that is why we can hope to see a D.Rose back on the court. A few years back this was a career ending injury, yes CAREER ENDING! So he's not crying over spilled milk. If you are his biggest fan why can't you wait until he's feeling sure he can return? I am a TRUE BULLS FAN and want him to be ok and rather lose and not even make a good playoff run this year, just to have one of my favorite players is ok, fully recovered and ready to play the rest of his career. So now I ask YOU to stop crying, think before you speak/type, learn about a subject before giving your opinion and finally learn to be patient. Trust me, Rose is probably the most anxious to return.
